I love that even though I have no machine right now, I have a quilt that has been quilted and is ready for binding. Why is this? Because Natalia of Piece N Quilt custom machine quilted my frolic quilt that I made based on her Figgy Christmas quilt tutorial. Natalia has graciously allowed me to post the photos that she took and post them on my blog. I hope to take some photos myself once I receive the quilt back in the mail.
Here's a picture of the quilt after Natalia quilted it. Look familiar?
I asked Natalia to quilt flowers in each of the blocks. The fabric, Frolic by Sandy Gervais, has a lot of fun, funky flowers in it and these flowers play off of that. I especially love the three pebbles in each petal. How cute.
In the sashing I asked for a figure eight design ad I think it looks really great here. She also quilted tiny flowers in the 2" cornerstones.
I'm not the best at applique. Actually, I can do a decent job if I want, I just don't have the patience for it. Natalia's pattern called for applique in this white section, bit instead I asked Natalia to quilt some similar flowers in different colored thread so that they'd pop. I like the way this came out.
Finally, Natalia quilted more flowers, but this time with some stems in the upper most section. She quilted a bunch of pebbles around the flowers to make them pop.
Now, I don't know how many of you remember my Figgy Pudding quilt that I made and quilted entirely using pebbles? Well, I swore off pebbles for a while after quilting that quilt. I remember I used up more than a dozen bobbins on that tiny 46" square quilt! Yikes. What I'm getting at is that I have total respect for Natalia for quilting all of those pebbles. I know it's easier on a long arm, but still.
Thank you Natalia. I can't wait to see it in person. There's nothing like running your hands across a newly quilted quilt. Yup, the first thing I'm going to do is just rub my hands all of the quilt and admire the texture.

Looking forward to seeing the whole thing. I did her original quilt and loved it!
